House on the Bailey

UK-based, two-person indie studio making games full of satire, whimsy, and unapologetically leftist politics.

Makers of Behind The Hydra's Eyes, now available to wishlist on Steam!

To wrap it all up-Oscar, the incredible flying Ostrich by @thomashunt.bsky.social and Renato Baroni. Stunning decorations aside, Oscar himself moves and feels incredible while you're holding the controller, leading to his many stunts feeling very satisfying. Hilariously written, one to look out for

To the right, we had another important game proudly presenting Palestine and support groups-The Activists. While not on itch, the game does an incredible job to put the players in the shoes of people that are capable and want to make a change. Break into a weapons factory and disrupt the status quo

To the left of our own booth, we had an importan, valuable and elegant game buzzerbeater.itch.io/where-the-ol.... Where the Olives grow is a beautiful point&click with an astonishing number of thoughtful pixel-art scenes. It covers a generational story of occupation, resilience, family and history.
Where the Olives Grow by Cagla Diriker
A story of hope, of roots that endure, and of life that continues to grow.

Next Manifest your Dream Job - Sleep Meditation - strawberrycongee.itch.io/manifest
This was an all out experience, playing on an old, square monitor, with decorations of a mini-aquarium and a framed fish sauce packet. One must embark on a guided meditation, flicking through scenes of your dream job

Next, Trolling by RenegadeSun -https://renegadesun.itch.io/trolling
A trash covered, dimly lit corner of the exhibition housed this beautiful typing game, embodying the angry mum of a gamer. Don't stop, keep typing, the Vitriol-meter must be fed at all costs. You hate gaming and the people will hear

First up we have We'll Build a Ladder by @iamdanielgreen.itch.io. Daniel loves a local coop game, and he did it again with this wholesome hand drawn sketch feel, and jolly cooperation to do a thing together with friends! Seeing strangers, old friends, families and children play was a highlight

And yes, the kitchen contains company-provided refreshments. Just don't actually use them, or you might be scolded.

Thanks for taking the time to go through it! A.Maze was incredible, can't wait for the next one.

I dont think I had heard of it. Thanks for the recommendation, we'll have a look at it

This has been quite the long thread, but I am pleased to announce I am now on a plane awaiting my return to England. A final thank you to @iamdanielgreen.itch.io for encouraging me to attend A.Maze. He is an incredible human, and I'm forever grateful for his friendship and advice.
